Penguins Trade: Get Bemstrom from Columbus, Nylander Goes to CBJ
The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired winger Emil Bemstrom from Columbus for forward Alex Nylander and a conditional sixth-round draft choice in 2026. That draft choice will become a third-rounder if Bemstrom scores six goals for the Penguins during the balance of this season. Benstrom, 24, has five goals and six...
Canadiens Claim Colin White Off Waivers from Penguins
Colin White is expected to be on the ice when the Pittsburgh Penguins face Montreal this evening at PPG Paints Arena. It will not, however, be as a member of the Penguins, because the Canadiens claimed him off waivers today. White, who can play center or wing, did not have...
Penguins Need Malkin to Change; Is He Thinking About the End?
“Please, no,” was Evgeni Malkin’s playful response when someone asked if he could play until he’s 50 years old. The Pittsburgh Penguins honored Jaromir Jagr for several days last week leading to Sunday’s jersey retirement, and if there was a player who most resembled Jagr’s ferocity and strength with the puck, it was Malkin.
Now or Never, Penguins Game 54 vs. Canadiens: Lines, Notes, & How to Watch
It might be a contest of which team can muster more desperation Thursday when the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Montreal Canadiens. If the Penguins (24-21-8) are in a bad way trying to climb into a playoff spot, then the Canadiens (22-25-8) are hanging on by a fingernail at best. The...
Dan’s Daily: More Opinions on Dubas; How Penguins Get Younger
The Pittsburgh Penguins and president of hockey operations/GM Kyle Dubas dominated the 24-hour news cycle. From Jake Guentzel’s future to Dubas’s admitted failure to find a shakeup trade and the Penguins’ desire to get younger, it’s all under the microscope and fueling the NHL trade talk. Elsewhere in the Daily, Auston Matthews is on a goal-scoring heater that would make Alex Ovechkin blush. Philadelphia is starting to get playoff fever and look down on the Devils, Islanders, and Penguins, as the Penguins lost more ground in the playoff race Wednesday night.
Do Lots of No-Trade Clauses = Few Trades Coming for Penguins?
CRANBERRY — Kyle Dubas remained noncommittal Wednesday about whether the Pittsburgh Penguins will be buyers or sellers — or neither — between now and the March 8 NHL trade deadline. That decision, he suggested, will be determined by how the Penguins perform — and where they stand...
Dubas Presser: Guentzel’s Future, Shakeup Trade, and the Rebuild Plans
CRANBERRY — Pittsburgh Penguins president Kyle Dubas had the same thought as many of us. The team needed a shakeup and needed a trade. Dubas addressed that possibility as well as Jake Guentzel’s future, Mike Sullivan’s requests, and why you should not expect to see a tear it down, burn it down, rebuild.
Penguins Put Colin White on Waivers
The Pittsburgh Penguins have placed blue-collar forward Colin White on waivers. If he is not claimed by another team by 2 p.m. Thursday, the Penguins could assign him to their farm team in Wilkes-Barre, although they have no obligation to do so. White, who earned a contract after coming to...
Here’s One Place Where There’s No Penguins Trade Talk (+)
CRANBERRY — The Pittsburgh Penguins haven’t been sellers at the NHL trade deadline since 2006. Then again, it’s also been a long time since they were in as perilous of a position in the standings as they are now. In the wake of their 5-4 overtime loss...
Watch: Penguins Analysis, Examining Mike Sullivan by 3 Criteria

LeBrun Says Teams Interested in Reilly Smith; Penguins Listening on Many
The March 8th NHL trade deadline is just over two weeks away, and the Pittsburgh Penguins have not improved their position in the standings.

Penguins Six-Pack: Nedeljkovic’s Mess; Power-Play Positives?
Give the Pittsburgh Penguins this: They didn’t quit. Of course, they didn’t win, either. They did, however, manage to score twice in a 56-second span with less than eight minutes remaining in regulation to take the New York Islanders to overtime at PPG Paints Arena Tuesday night. That...
PHN Postgame Q&A: So Many Mistakes; Move Malkin to Wing?
Try as they might Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Penguins could not overcome themselves or the New York Islanders, losing in overtime 5-4 at PPG Paints Arena. The Penguins’ second and third lines with Evgeni Malkin and Lars Eller, respectively, were especially good. However, the mistakes on defense were too much. The power play was 0-for-3 and yielded a breakaway goal to Matthew Barzal as his time in the penalty box expired.
Penguins Room: Eller’s Long Silence, Nedeljkovic ‘I (Soiled) the Bed’
It was a stinging loss that will hasten decisions and the finality of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins earned a point in a 5-4 overtime loss to their rival New York Islanders but lost even more ground in the playoff race. They have less than 30 games to go, only...
Penguins Report Card: Malkin Rises, but Pens’ Ship is Sinking Fast
A power play terrified to shoot and gives up a breakaway goal at its conclusion. A team that can’t muster the fear or urgency to win games on home ice with their season on the line. Last season, it took until Game 81 for the Pittsburgh Penguins to be eliminated from playoff contention. The impatient Penguins are hastening their fate this season and, for too much of the first 30 minutes Tuesday, looked ready to accept the same destiny.
Penguins Flip the Script, But Lose to Islanders, 5-4, in Overtime
The Pittsburgh Penguins know all about late-game comebacks, because they’ve seen lots of them this season. Usually by the other team. But Tuesday night, it was the Penguins, not their opponents, who rallied late in the third period to force overtime. The extra period lasted just 57 seconds, though,...
P.O Joseph’s Big Chance to Reclaim Season, Spur Penguins
It has been a rough sophomore season for Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman P.O Joseph. In his second full NHL season, Joseph has been in and out of the press box, failing to claim a regular spot in the lineup. He’s had a few chances but has not yet seized the opportunity.
(Updated) Hellberg Called Up, Nedeljkovic to Start vs. Islanders
Magnus Hellberg was called up Sunday a few hours before the Pittsburgh Penguins lost to the LA Kings, 2-1, at PPG Paints Arena, but that’s not the end of the story. Coach Mike Sullivan said Hellberg was recalled because one of the goalies was feeling under the weather, and the Penguins wanted to make sure they were covered.
Last Chance? Penguins Game 53 vs. Islanders: Lines, Notes & How to Watch

Dan’s Daily: High Trade Cost for Chychrun; The Penguins Had Enough
Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan had enough. Significant changes swept the Penguins lineup Monday at practice as the coach shuffled lines, dropping high-paid players either down in the lineup or out entirely. He didn’t mince words after practice, either. Elsewhere in the Daily, the Ottawa Senators are chumming the NHL trade waters but keeping a high price on Jakob Chychrun. Sportsnet has dubbed the Calgary Flames trade bait as Tanafin, combining Noah Hanifin and Chris Tanev, and Elliotte Friedman had the latest update.
